2016 Wesleyan Discipline:Minimum organization: Developing church
From Wesleyan Discipline
807. Developing church. A developing church may operate without any regularly constituted officers other than the pastor, but will ordinarily have a local advisory council of three to five members appointed by the district superintendent in cooperation with the pastor. The pastor and these members will form the local advisory council. This council may then appoint such other officers and committees as are needed and for which qualified personnel are available (cf. 2016 Wesleyan Discipline:510:3).
